A History of Halloween

A HISTORY OF HALLOWEEN Its pagan origin, sancti cation by Catholicism and return to paganism in modern times. The story of Halloween is very old, going back to the days of the Druids1 in England, where in fact, most of the secular customs that are now performed during Halloween were rst practiced. The Druids practiced many superstitious customs depending on their beliefs. They had two big feast days and one of these was their New Year’s Eve which was celebrated around the 31st of October. On this day they believed that all those who had died during the past year would rise from their graves and come to spend a last evening by the hearth where they had spent their days of the past. The Druids believed that at midnight all these souls would walk out of the town to be taken by the Lord of Death to the afterlife from where the souls would be able to tranmigrate.2 They also feared that if these souls were able to recognize them, that they would drag them down into the afterlife with them. The townspeople therefore wore costumes so as not to be recognizable. They wore these costumes as they e s c o r t e d the souls of the dead out to meet the Lord of Death. It is easy to see how the custom of wearing costumes (i.e., of demons, witches, etc.) on Halloween has never had anything to do with those customs of Christianity! When Catholicism came to England and Ireland, it encountered this very popular pagan custom.

Zero Tolerance [Mischief Night

RIVER VALE POLICE DEPARTMENT 334 Rivervale Road • River Vale, New Jersey • 07675 Telephone: 201.664.1111 • Fax: 201.358.7750 October 27, 2020 Dear Parents, The River Vale Police Department will be continuing our Zero Tolerance Policy this year during “Mischief Night” and Halloween (October 30th and 31st respectively). This policy is vital for the safety of our children and the protection of property. We are urging parents to take an active role in order for assist us in this endeavor. Historically, our community had experienced significant property damage as well as mischievous and criminal behavior by unsupervised juveniles and young adults on these nights. We have also had problems with juveniles congregating in large groups in various areas of town. Parents and guardians should be aware of the activity that occurs when their children are out unsupervised. Most property damage and criminal activity occurs when seemingly harmless behavior and pranks escalate out of control. Parents are asked to establish dialogue with their children about unacceptable behavior or, more importantly, not allow their children out without adult supervision. Parents must be cognizant of their children’s actions and behavior. Children leaving the home dressed in dark clothing and/or in possession of items such as eggs, shaving cream and other malicious items are traditionally a formula for trouble. This year, we are recommending that all parents limit their children’s “mischief” to their own property. In the past, homes and moving vehicles have been the target of eggs, rocks and, in some instances, paintball guns. Toilet paper strewn across utility lines has created visibility hazards, which can easily lead to serious danger for the motoring public and our children.
Mischief Night

TOWNSHIP OF WASHINGTON POLICE DEPARTMENT 350 Hudson Avenue Township of Washington New Jersey 07676 www.washtwppolice.org Mischief Night The Township of Washington Police Department will continue its “Zero Tolerance Policy” this year during Halloween and “Mischief Night”. These standards are very important for the safety of our children and the protection of private property. Parents have to take an active role in order for these standards to be successful. The Police Department understands that revelry is a part of the Halloween tradition. Please remember that certain activities are unacceptable, even at this time of year. Damaging the property of another is against the law. Juveniles caught participating in any form of criminal mischief will be brought to Police Headquarters for appropriate action and will only be released to a parent or guardian. Parents should speak with their children about unacceptable activities or not allow their children out on these nights without adult supervision. The standards that will be enforced this year include: • A Zero-Tolerance policy toward acts of criminal mischief, trespassing and aggressive behavior. Anyone found defacing or damaging private property will be arrested and charged. • We will confiscate all items, including toilet paper and shaving cream, from juveniles found wandering around the Township of Washington unsupervised. Names of all unsupervised juveniles will be recorded. • Any juveniles found with items we think pose a significant threat to people or property will be brought down to headquarters and processed according to the law. These items include eggs, spray paint, paintball guns, and any other items that could be considered a threat.

October 2011 Here-There

American volunteers helping newcomers speak English Here/There English in Action is a program of The English-Speaking Union of the United States October 2011 HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Halloween is on Monday, October 31st. The name means “the evening before All Hallows’ or All Saints’ Day,” which is on November 1st. The origins of Hallow- een are ancient, from the days of the Druids, and many of the customs stem from old religious beliefs. On Halloween, children dress in costumes and go from door to door, saying “Trick or treat!” and holding out their bags for treats. All are advised to stock up on Halloween candy in preparation. Halloween is also a time for pranks and mis- chief. In some parts of the country, Mischief Night or Devil’s Night is celebrated on the night before Halloween. Some of the symbols associated with Halloween are black cats, bats, spiders, skeletons, haunted houses, monsters, ghosts and witches flying on broomsticks. Big orange pumpkins are carved into jack-o’-lanterns, with faces glowing eerily from the candles lit inside them. Many people like to decorate their homes for the holiday, and host costume parties. Here are some idioms appropriate for Halloween. See if you can make a sentence using each one. pale as a ghost – very pale (usually used to describe someone who is frightened) a skeleton in your closet – an embarrassing secret scaredy-cat – someone who is easily frightened as easy as taking candy from a baby – something that is very easy to do out of your gourd – crazy let the cat out of the bag – reveal information a ghost of a chance – very small possibility Grammar Exercise VOWEL SOUNDS: WHICH WORD DOESN’T BELONG?

COMMUNITY SAFETY and LEISURE SCRUTINY PANEL

COMMUNITY SAFETY and LEISURE SCRUTINY PANEL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - Examination into Boro Buzz PURPOSE OF THE REPORT The purpose of this Final Report is to present the Community Safety and Leisure Scrutiny Panel’s assessment and proposals on the Boro Buzz in relation to the Terms of Reference of the Scrutiny Investigation. BACKGROUND The Overview and Scrutiny Board approved the Community Safety and Leisure Scrutiny Panels examination into Boro Buzz. Essentially, the Boro Buzz initiative is a two week festival targeted to divert attention away from anti social behaviour and into a programme of events to occupy the attention of young people in Middlesbrough. The initiative was triggered due to a spate of anti social behaviour throughout the town in October 2003, which was considered to have been prompted by three events in the nation’s social calendar – Mischief Night, Halloween and Bonfire Night. For some time there had been a problem for Local Authorities and other statutory services related to the November 5th “Bonfire Night” celebration; in particular, anti social behaviour related to the misuse of fireworks and illegal bonfires in public spaces. The development of “trick or treat” activities associated with “Mischief Night” and “Halloween” had increased. Potentially unruly groups of young people persisted for two or three weeks after Bonfire Night and it took a measured and dedicated effort from the Police and Street Wardens to change the behaviour of many young people. The co-ordination of this activity was provided by the AIM (Active Intelligence Mapping) group, which was Chaired by Middlesbrough Council. In an attempt to reduce the likelihood of the problems experienced in 2003 repeating, the AIM group commissioned a “think tank” to suggest a way of providing alternative and diversionary activity.
